To all those people here supporting the spying of the kids' activities with or without the webcam: How would you like it if your employer used these measures? You are probably using his computer during times in which you should be working, but you aren't. You're just doing some mostly harmless recreation on VideoSift.
I say if the grades of these children aren't suffering and if they manage to hand in their homework on time, there should be no reason to monitor their computer activity.
At high school I almost never did any schoolwork and also used the computers for unrelated stuff. However I finished high school with good grades, and I'm currently finishing my university master's degree. I can't imagine the hell high school would have been if I was constantly monitored to be actively doing schoolwork.


One of my employers DID use this method. It's how they made sure we weren't using unnecessary bandwidth, or slacking off while on a phone call. It's a good QA method.

That being said, you =/= everybody. Just because you slacked off and managed to get good grades doesn't mean everybody does. There are people out there that unless they focus on what they're doing will be sidetracked constantly, and any form of temptation will cause that. I used to be one of those people, the minute I started doing something else my work suffered and I got terrible marks, the only thing that salvaged them sometimes was from me getting Hoffed, forcing me to re-focus on my work.

I don't understand why people are so upset about this method when it's at school. You're GIVEN a laptop, and the only expectation is that when you're at school, you do schoolwork on it. The only difference between this and a teacher walking around behind you looking at what you're doing, is you can't hide anything with this method, they see exactly what you're doing.

Too many questions.

Who paid for the laptops?
If the school paid, do they get the laptops back to pass on to a different generation when that one is moving on?
Were there rules or regulations if the laptop is school owned?
Did they sign a waver not realizing this was in the fine print?
Are the laptops the kids?

I need more information on this before I take one side over the other, however, I'm leaning more towards the teacher then the kids.

In highschool, we had a computer lab in the public library attached to our school, with open access to students on their spare or lunch etc. When the lab wasn't in use by students, it was open to the public, so they couldn't just block certain pages.

When students were on them, they had to log into their school account which had an underlying program like the one shown above, so that a teacher could just look at what you were doing. If it was schoolwork, it was fine. If you were slacking off, they'd generally lock your computer and throw up a picture of david hasslehoff, until you went over and appologised for not doing you work and asked them to remove it.

Now, if this is the kids own little toy, there's no WAY he can be charged with improper conduct for anything, because the picture as "evidence" is taken illegally, and therefore in-admissible as evidence, worst that happens is the kid gets a slap on the wrist.

If the laptop is school property, and he had to sign it out, or sign some form of contract before using it, and in either case whatever he signed said "Oh, and by the way, we reserve the right to watch you in your home" he may be S.O.L.

[Edit]: the laptops issued to high-school students Seems to me like these are school property. The kids were probably given a waiver their parents had to sign to get them, along with a deposit of sorts. That waiver would probably say they have this program installed on the laptops, and will use it to check up on the kids.

Man, David Hasselhoff better do something about that dog living in his hair.

Fuck LA, fuck the sun, fuck actors, fuck smug "industry people," and fuck fucking David Hasselhoff.

I guess Norm MacDonald was right. Germans love David Hasselhoff.

contortionists/midgets/amputee
plus camera cutting away at least 7 times
plus fat magician moving in front of camera
plus David Hasselhoff
= MAGIC!!

Siftquisitions are a mixture of the holocaust, 9/11 and the musical career of David Hasselhoff.

Imagine teams of scientists working to cross Pauly Shore DNA with Richard Simmons, also David Hasselhoff will be cross-bred with Steven Seagal.

>> ^deathcow:
Would Seagal and Hasselhoff annihilate each other if they collided?


That was actually the prototype design for the LHC.

The image of them colliding and the thought of the resulting offspring is terrifying.

Would Seagal and Hasselhoff annihilate each other if they collided?

Thanks for reporting and digging up the fix. I found another working YT version here: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=Le5Rx2xy8Y4

Oooh! Bestiality! That explains everything!

Hilarious that they use the same cheesy driving shot as in your Knight Rider clip. (http://www.videosift.com/video/David-hasselhoff-Our-First-Night-Together-Knight-Rider)

LMAO
